Freeman, Kinder Morgan and Milacron First to Go Live With 401(k)
Participants

PALO ALTO, Calif. & NORWOOD, Mass., Oct 31, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

Financial Engines and Mercer's US Outsourcing business today announced
that Financial Engines(R) Income+, the first retirement income
solution designed specifically for 401(k) plans, has been rolled out to
Mercer's defined contribution administration client base. The first
three Mercer clients to go live with Income+ are Freeman, Kinder Morgan
and Milacron. Financial Engines has already received commitments from
six Mercer plan sponsors to offer Income+ to their more than 50,000
401(k) participants.

"Our clients look to us to help them engage and empower their employees
to live, work and retire well," said Dave Tolve, retirement business
leader for Mercer's US Outsourcing business. "Income+ is an innovative
retirement income solution that can help participants prepare for and
retire with confidence, and that translates into a more engaged
workforce for our clients. Later this year, we are also enhancing our
website by seamlessly integrating Financial Engines retirement forecasts
into our online experience, further driving participant retirement
readiness."

Of the three companies to go live with Income+ this fall, Milacron will
be automatically enrolling all 401(k) participants over age 60 into the
service to help them protect their 401(k) assets leading up to
retirement and to provide steady, reliable income in retirement.
Participants can opt out of enrollment or cancel the service at any time
without penalty.

"We want our employees to be well-prepared for retirement and that
includes helping them save and invest, as well as helping them figure
out how best to use their 401(k) assets in retirement," explained Rodger
Hodge, Milacron's director of global human resources. "We decided to
automatically enroll all plan participants in professional management
with Financial Engines. For those employees nearing retirement, we
automatically enrolled them in Income+ because we felt it was important
to give every participant the benefit of having access to professional
help in preparing for a confident transition to retirement."

About Income+

Income+ is a feature of Financial Engines' managed account program
introduced in January 2011, designed to balance safety and growth in the
years leading up to retirement. It provides steady monthly payouts from
a 401(k) account, which can last for life with the optional purchase of
an out-of-plan annuity. The Income+ feature is available to participants
in Financial Engines' managed accounts program at no additional cost.
Income+ does not require employers to add an annuity or change the fund
line-up in their plan.

As part of a managed account, Income+ gives employees control of their
money, which stays in their 401(k) account and doesn't lock them into a
particular investment or insurance product. Employees can start payouts,
stop payouts, take additional withdrawals or cancel at any time without
penalty, giving them full access to their 401(k) savings as needed.

"We are excited to have another large 401(k) provider go live with
Income+, making the valuable retirement income service available to more
participants nationwide," said Larry Raffone, executive vice president
at Financial Engines. "We are committed to working with our
recordkeeping partners to integrate our services into their participant
experiences, which will translate into more participants getting the
retirement help they so urgently need."
